To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN C. VAND- ZEN, aA citizen ofthe UnitedStates, and a resident -of Athe town of `Winton Place, (in the county ofHamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new andusefulImprovements in Traction-Engines, of which the following is aspecification.

Certain features of my inventionlhave to do with new and valuablemechanism for burning the gases derived fromgasolenabenzin, kerosene, orother coal oils, and thereby operating an engine.

Certain other features of my invention have to do with the constructionof a new engine, and certain other `features'of my invention relate tomechanism whereby the said engine is a valuable traction-motor.

The several features of` my invention and the variousadvantages".1'esulting from their the receiving side of the saidmachinenamely, that side which is opposite to the one shown in Fig. 2.Fig. 4, Sheet 4, is anelevation of the rear end of the machine. Fig. 5,Sheet 5, is an elevation of the front end of the machine. Fig. 6, Sheet6, is a plan view of t-he mechanism of the brake and mechanism forstarting and stopping. Fig. 7, Sheet 6, is a side elevation of the same.Fig. 8,

Sheet 7, is a plan View showing details of the claw-clutch arrangement.Fig. 9, Sheet 7, is an elevation o f the said clutch arrangement. Fig.10, Sheet 7, is an elevation of the end of `the clutch and showingthereverselever. Fig. 11, Sheet 7, represents an elevation of that side ofthe central portion of vthe clutch which faces toward the left in Fig.

'9 and taken in the plane of the dotted line 11 ll of Fig. 9. Thefigures of SheetS show l of the same.

is a sectional plan. Fig. 13 is an elevation showing gear-wheel. Fig. 14is a plan of the expander. Fig. 15 is an elevation of thefriction-shell, expander, and lever, all combined, Fig. 16 is asectional plan. Fig. 17 is an elevation of the forked connection forshifting and expanding the expander. Fig. 18 of Sheet 9 is a plan of the`driving-gear and4 showing the differential clutch-gears in section anddevice for lookin g the shaft connections of driving-wheels. The figuresof Sheet 10 show brackets for carrying the clutchvshaft, to Wit: Fig. 19is an elevation of the 'single bracket. Fig. 2O is an elevation of thedouble bracket. The figures of Sheet 11 show reversing-gear, to Wit:Figp21 is a plan Fig. 22 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 23 is an endelevation thereof. The figuresVV of Sheet 12 respectively representcombination of engine, clamp, steeringdrnm, and bracket and thecombination of the engine, clamp, steering-drum, idlers, and bracket, towitr Fig. 24 is a plan of the idler, brackets, and clamps'. Fig. 25 isan elevation of the same. Fig. 25?` is a vertical transverse sectioninthe' plane of the dotted line 28 of Fig. 25. Fig. 26 is a plan Viewbelow Fig. 27 is a plan of the steering-drum brackets. Fig. 28 is a sideelevation of the steering-drum brackets, in combination withsecuring-clamp, reaches, and steering-drum, looking from rear of engine.Fig. 29 is an end elevation of the steering-drum bracket on thereceiving side of the engine. Fig. 30 is an end elevation of thesteering-drum bracket on the exhaust side of the engine. The figures ofSheet 13 represent views of the differential sleeve arranged with africtional lock and lock-box, to Wit: Fig. 31 represents a longitudinalhorizontal section thereof. Fig. 32 represents a cross-section of
